NOTE:this is just my opinion it's okay if you don't give it a better rank

1st like I said it's one of the few flying types that has a good stab move

2nd if example you already have a dragon type on your team maybe garchomp (not mega) or goodra and you want a flying type like salamence but you don't  want a second dragon type M-pidgeot can be the replacement (not saying that 2 dragon types on your team is bad,I mean I do have 2 ghost types in my team)

And 3rd it's a very reliable revenge killer with that wonderful speed that can outspeed a lot of the main used Pokemon in the battle colleseum but only if it's not holding a choice scarf

And I know Salamence can handle all of that but all I'm saying is a B- is quite suiting for pidgeot I feel like you just answered your own points on why it shouldn't be ranked higher. The only things Mega Pidgeot have that Mega Salamence doesn't are ability to pivot (U-Turn), 1 more speed and can rely on lucky confusion of Hurricane, which are still negligible. As you said, M-Salamence can handle most, if not all, of the things M-Pidgeot can.

Shaymin-Sky is the real competitor of M-Pidgeot though, since Flinch hax >>>>> while does not consume Mega slot and has higher speed. I can't see why M-Pidgeot should rise up at all, if anything it should drop.
